This is basically an opinion poll for our astute members as to what you guys feel the opening line will be on this one. I am going to attend this fight and am therefore quite interested. Also, from a betting perspective, not only as a fan. Personally, I see Vazquez coming in as the early chalk here. Thanks in advance for the replys.

Agreed. This is a close tough pick. I won good money on the 1st fight and lost good money on the 2nd. Marq is the better tech in there but Vas has found a way to reach his chin and hurt him. Vas will be in the neighborhood of -160. Not likely I'll wager the 3rd go but I'll sure as hell be watching.
Yea, sounds about right. Maybe I am just seeing what I want to see, but at the very start of the second fight Marquez did'nt look right from the jump. No lines posted yet, but thanks guys for the replies.
I don't know that book weepaul, but it's a starting point. I think +150 has value. If I see that or better here in Vegas, I will surely bet into that number. Guess I need to get making the rounds to see what the books here are offering. Thanks again weepaul for the info.
Just checked out their site. Their numbers for some fights are off the charts. They have Klitscho a 10-1 chalk. Also they have that nasty tie thing thrown in.
you have to give serious consideration to marquez at +170,i think.....those are decent odds...vasquez was a nice dog play in "part 2"....maybe marquez turns the tables here...
very possible that after stopping vasquez the first time...marquez was very confident......maybe overconfident...
i still think marquez is the better technician...vasquez is naturally a little bigger,stronger and has the better whiskers...but he has pretty pedestrian foot movement and mobility...
i have to think that beristain and marquez will try and formulate a plan that maximizes movement,angles,in and out combinations....and minimizes prolonged exchanges...
can marquez resist the urge to "stand in" vs vasquez?...that`s tough after you physically dominated a division for so long...i think he has the ability to do it...can he get his head around the idea and implement for a full 12 rounds?...that`s the question...`cause vasquez can and will hurt him if he stands in front of him...if i remember correctly,vasquez hurt marquez to the body significantly in part 1 before his nose came apart.......he can whack....
waiting for some props...

Holy moly this fight is on the same day as the Dan Henderson A Silva match in the MMA. Man you can't ask for more than that. My prediction on the odds was -130 Vasquez. I didnt read the last few post so im not sure there are odds out yet. I did read the odds from St James. Boy that looks high at 200. Love watching these two go at it.
